Monty by Jim Meddick for June 07, 2012

Agreed, I think I found the common thread in all their bad luck!

A Totally Corny Happy Ending?! In Monty?! What’s so corny about a passing sea lion with a time vortex watch on its flipper showing up on an iceberg where two comic strip characters have just rescued 1500 souls from the Titanic? What’s not to believe?

guess you guys have some folks to drown, eh?

No otariids (sea lions and fur seals) are native to the North Atlantic, as far as I know. But there are five more sea lion species in addition to the California sea lion.

Don’t be surprised Monty if everyone is drinking schnapps and doing the goose step when you return…

…remember ‘Sound Of Thunder’! (R.I.P. Ray Bradbury 1920 – 2012.)Mr Bradbury passed away last Wednesday at the ripe old age of 91.

I Robot was his first book I read after graduating from E E ‘Doc’ Smith.

God help me I love Jim Meddick.

I, Robot is a collection of nine science fiction short stories by Isaac Asimov, first published by Gnome Press in 1950 in an edition of 5000 copies.

The time travel watch slipped onto a seal’s flipper? Oh yeah, like I believe that…..!!!

My favorite Ray Bradbury is “Dandelion Wine”.

…as for changing the future, don’t forget Harlan Ellison’s Star Trek TOS episode, “City on the Edge of Forever” where Kirk had to let Joan Collins die.

I wonder what effect this had on history.

Will that seal be willing to part with that Time Vortex watch? Stay tuned all Monty fans!

A lesser comic would have resolved this with a deus ex machina.

Not to worry. It’s almost Friday so I’m sure SOMEONE will take a cold swim and get it back tomorrow…

Who’s going to bell the cat?

“Something Wicked This Way Comes” just the right amount of creepy scary.

There are otariids (sea lions and fur seals) that live at the same latitude as where the Titanic went down, but none of them naturally live near the longitude where the Titanic went down. As you said, north of the Equator they all live in the Pacific Ocean.
